8 Reasons For

Optoma Has Good Reviews for Its Data Projectors

On average Optoma projectors have good ratings compared to other manufacturers as do all data projectors built by Optoma.

Supports Full HD Projection

The Optoma HD90 supports Full HD projection, which is unusual. Most of the other projectors that have been available for more than two years do not support Full HD projection.

There are a number of other projectors which support Full HD projection currently available which you might want to look at including because of it's better review score, the Benq W7000+[plb_1403580_price], or the Optoma HD25[plb_1883129_price].

Supports 3D Image Projection

The Optoma HD90 supports 3D image projection. Most of the other comparable spec data projectors that have been on the market for more than two years also support 3D image projection.

We think you might also be interested in some of the alternative data projectors which support 3D image projection currently available including because of it's better review score, the Benq W7000+[plb_1403580_price].

1080p (1920x1080) Native Projector Resolution

This projector has a native projector resolution of 1080p (1920x1080), which is the most commonly found native projector resolution on projectors of a comparable type and age to it.

1920 X 1080 (HD 1080) Graphics Resolution

The highest resolution supported by the Optoma HD90 is 1920 x 1080 (HD 1080). That's over six times the resolution of a 640 x 480 (VGA) data projector, which is the most common resolution supported by projectors that are a similar age to the HD90. 640 x 480 (VGA) is also supported by this Optoma multimedia projector. This Optoma projector also support graphics resolutions of 1024 x 768 (XGA), 1280 x 1024 (SXGA), 1280 x 720 (HD 720), 1280 x 768 (WXGA) and 1600 x 1200 (UXGA) and 800 x 600 (SVGA). Across all comparable spec data projectors that have been on the market for around the same time as the HD90 the worst resolution is 640 x 480 (VGA) and the best is 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA).

Quite Long Lamp Service Life

The lamp service lives of projectors that have been around for a similar time to the HD90 range from 1,500h to 30,000h. At 20,000 hours, the Optoma HD90 has a quite long lamp service life compared to most of the other comparable spec data projectors that have been available for around the same time as the HD90.

+3 More reasons for

Fairly High Maximum Vertical Synchronization

Across all the multimedia projectors of a similar age and spec to the HD90 the maximum vertical synchronization range from 0.085kHz to 120kHz, and the average maximum vertical synchronization is 42kHz. At 85 kilohertz, the Optoma HD90 has a fairly high maximum vertical synchronization compared to most of the other data projectors that were released more than two years ago.

ChartEdit

Very Quiet Noise Level

Similar spec projectors that were launched around the same time as the HD90 have noise levels of between 20dB and 47dB, and the average noise level is 32dB. The Optoma HD90 has one of the quieter noise levels (only 23 decibels) amongst projectors of this age.

It may also be worth considering one of the other 23dB noise level data projectors currently available including the JVC DLA-X95R[plb_1858343_price], or the Sony VPL-VW1100ES[plb_2017777_price] which has better reviews.

6 Reasons Against

Does Not Have a Built-In Speaker

Most projectors that have been available for around the same time as the HD90 do not have a built-in speaker. The Optoma HD90 is no exception to this as it too does not have a built-in speaker.

There are a number of other data projectors which also have a built-in speaker that you might want to consider including the Acer H7531D[plb_1418806_price].

Does Not Support WiFi Connectivity

The Optoma HD90 does not support WiFi connectivity, although it is worth keeping in mind that most of the other projectors of this age and spec also do not support WiFi connectivity.

We think you might also be interested in other multimedia projectors which also support WiFi connectivity including the LG PW700[plb_2778836_price], or the Optoma W305ST[plb_1726307_price].

Very Dim Projector Brightness

With a projector brightness of only 1,200 ANSI lumen, the Optoma HD90 has one of the dimmer projector brightness amongst similar spec data projectors of this age. Across all the data projectors of a comparable type and age to the HD90 the projector brightness range from 300 ANSI lumens to 9,200 ANSI lumens, and the average projector brightness is 2,900 ANSI lumens.

There are a number of alternative 1,200 ANSI lumens brightness projectors currently available that you might also want to look at including the JVC DLA-X95R[plb_1858343_price] which has better reviews.

If you would prefer a data projector with a brighter projector brightness then you might also want to look at the Sony VPL-HW40ES[plb_3286333_price] (1,700 ANSI lumens and higher rated), or the Epson EH-TW7200[plb_3059146_price] (2,000 ANSI lumens and higher rated).

Quite Small Lamp Power

The Optoma HD90 has a very small lamp power (only 147 Watts) compared to most of the other projectors that have been on the market for around the same time as the HD90. The smallest lamp power of projectors that were released more than two years ago is 140W, the biggest is 420W, and the average lamp power is 250W.

+3 More reasons against

Only One VGA (D-Sub) Port

Most projectors that were launched around the same time as the HD90 have between 1 and 11 VGA (D-Sub) ports, including the Optoma HD90 which has one VGA (D-Sub) port.

ChartEdit

Very Small Uniformity

Across all the data projectors of this type and age the uniformities range from 80% to 130%. With a uniformity of only 80 percent, the Optoma HD90 has a fairly small uniformity compared to most of the other similar spec projectors that are a comparable age to the HD90.
